The Future King Zhou

If Yang Jian had enough strength, he would have already stormed the Heavenly Court, split open Mount Tao, and rescued Yao Ji.

If Chen Changsheng himself had enough strength to look down upon all living beings in the Three Realms, how could Yang Jian's request possibly trouble him?

But the next moment, Chen Changsheng's heart brimmed with confidence. Cultivating like this alone naturally would not be enough, but he had the system. Such a situation was not impossible.

With that in mind, Chen Changsheng began to wonder who his second disciple would be.

"Ding! A potential disciple has been discovered. You may take them as a disciple!"

Just as Chen Changsheng was feeling puzzled, the system's voice surfaced in his mind.

Chen Changsheng froze, then was overjoyed. After taking Yang Jian in, he had already come to understand the benefits of the system.

Now that a second disciple had appeared, his rate of improvement would increase greatly once more. How could he not look forward to such a good thing?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly began to check.

He was immediately shocked to discover that this disciple was actually slowly making his way toward Changsheng Palace. He was not moving quickly, as though he were searching for something.

Chen Changsheng was stunned. "Good grief, could it really be such a coincidence? Is this guy going to deliver himself right to my doorstep?"

Chen Changsheng did not dare lower his guard. Since he did not need to go out and search for him, that was naturally for the best. If you came knocking on my door yourself, then you could not blame me.

At the same time, at the foot of a mountain not far from Changsheng Palace, a figure no more than a dozen years old quietly appeared.

The youth looked around, doubt filling his eyes. "Could immortals really exist in a place like this?"

The youth let out a soft sigh. "I left Chaoge years ago and visited countless mountains, yet I could not find a single trace of an immortal. A few days ago, I heard someone say that immortals lived here, so I came searching, but..."

A hint of wavering appeared in the youth's eyes. He could have lived a life of luxury in Chaoge, but for the sake of this single obsession, he had willingly left that comfortable life behind for so many years.

Although he had heard many tales since childhood, the lack of results throughout this journey had also made him doubt.

He was only a teenager. The fact that he had persisted for so many years already proved that his resolve surpassed that of others his age.

But if he continued to persist despite gaining nothing at all, then he would merely be stubbornly drilling into a dead end.

"Forget it. I'll search this final mountain. If this place is still the same, then I'll return to Chaoge."

The youth smiled bitterly. He did not know what lay ahead, and this final search was only because he did not want his heart to be filled with regret.

Watching the point of light continuously draw closer, Chen Changsheng understood that this person was indeed approaching him.

"Good thing Changsheng Palace covers a large area. As long as he gets close, anyone who isn't blind will be able to see it. I just wonder whether the words 'Changsheng' can fool him."

Chen Changsheng's heart stirred, and just as he had expected, the youth noticed Changsheng Palace built upon the mountain as he approached.

"Could it be here?"

The youth's heart jolted. After searching for so long, he had already lost most of his hope. But if he really could find an immortal, then all the hardships he had endured over the years would be worth it.

With that thought, the youth hurriedly quickened his pace. Though his body was already exhausted, the obsession in his heart supported him until he reached the entrance of the building.

"Changsheng Palace!"

Naturally, the youth recognized the three words above the entrance. When he saw the words "Changsheng," his eyes could not help widening.

"It actually dares to speak of immortality. Who under heaven does not desire eternal life? Yet how many can escape birth, aging, sickness, and death? Only by becoming an immortal can one do so."

After saying that, the youth sighed.

"This kid has some insight. He's qualified to be my disciple."

Chen Changsheng had been observing the youth's situation from within Longevity Palace. With his current cultivation, he could naturally hear every word the youth said outside Changsheng Palace.

Though this kid looked young, he had his own insights.

Moreover, although his clothes were luxurious, they were somewhat tattered. Born into wealth yet still able to endure hardship, this showed that the youth was resolute at heart.

All of this made Chen Changsheng very satisfied with the youth. Besides, this was a disciple designated by the system. How could he possibly let him go?

The youth hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to raise his hand and knock, just to test the waters.

Just as he raised his hand to knock, Chen Changsheng lightly coughed. At once, a voice sounded in his ears. "Come in!"

Chapter 5: The Future King Zhou

"Could it really be an immortal?"

The youth cried out in surprise. The doors before him opened on their own, as though welcoming his arrival.

Who besides an immortal could accomplish such a thing? It seemed that I truly had encountered an immortal.

Thinking of this, his entire body trembled with excitement.

"After searching for years, I've finally found an immortal."

Without further hesitation, he walked straight into the great hall. Within it, Chen Changsheng was already waiting for him.

"Hmm?"

The instant the youth stepped into the great hall, Chen Changsheng noticed something was wrong. This youth possessed immense fortune.

However, that was not what surprised Chen Changsheng. A disciple guided by the system was bound to have something extraordinary about him. Extraordinary fortune was naturally normal.

What Chen Changsheng had not expected was that besides fortune, there was actually a strand of purple aura on the youth's body.

"This is!"
